Appearance:
Bolero Snort's Strawberry Cream Pop IPA poured a pinkish orange color in our Drink Local Mini Teku. The IPA sported a short white head with decent lacing.
Nose:
Double Dry-hopped Strawberry Vanilla Bullsicle (SVB) is a berry and vanilla dominant India Pale Ale with noticeable amounts of hops in the aroma profile. The hand-crafted IPA smells like a hoppy strawberry milkshake.
Palate:
SVB is a smooth and thin-bodied IPA that expresses the hop characteristics nicely. Unlike the aroma profile, the hops dominate the flavor profile of this IPA. The hops are complemented by a wave of vanilla that is followed by hints of strawberry and creamy lactose.
Final Thoughts:
Overall, Bolero Snort's Strawberry Cream Pop IPA was unique and more hop-forward than the first batch. We truly enjoyed drinking this beer; however, we would have liked to taste more strawberry in the flavor profile. The strawberry flavor was definitely more prominent in the first batch of SVB, but we really enjoyed the new take on this beer.
Bolero Snort self-distributes their beer to liquor stores throughout New Jersey. Information regarding new beer releases is readily available on their blog and social media accounts.
